My title of choice would probably be Daggerfall because it’s just so ambitious and truly offers an experience none of the other elder scrolls games offer. That being said it is kinda an example of a sequel eclipsing it’s predecessors as well given it is more or less a straight improvement over Arena in every way.
Honestly there is an argument to be made that Halo CE is a lot more visually readable than some of the modern titles. If you feel like trying out daggerfall I recommend using daggerfall unity as it makes it a much smoother experience on modern systems.
Whoh! Great suggestion - daggerfall unity apparently is free on GoG!

Is that the one you’re talking about or is there another version?
